American Olympian Lindsey Vonn shared Monday that she hasn’t been able to stand on her own two feet in over a week, but was glad to be back in the United States.

Vonn suffered immense Olympic heartbreak on Feb. 8 when she broke her leg in a hard crash in alpine skiing women’s downhill earlier in the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. She attempted to power through a ruptured ACL to make the podium, but the latest injury set her farther back.

She had since revealed that she underwent multiple surgeries to repair the leg. She said she’ll likely need more surgery back in the U.S.

“Haven’t stood on my feet in over a week… been in a hospital bed immobile since my race. And although I’m not yet able to stand, being back on home soil feels amazing,” she wrote in a post on X.

“Huge thank you to everyone in Italy for taking good care of me.”

Vonn, 41, needed to be airlifted off an Italian mountain in a scary scene during her downhill competition.

Officials at an Italian hospital where Vonn was rushed after the crash said she underwent surgery to “stabilize a fracture reported in her left leg.” Vonn had said she suffered a “complex tibia fracture that is currently stable but will require multiple surgeries to fix properly.”

Before the Games began, many wondered how Vonn would ski on her ruptured ACL, but she was determined to attempt to medal in her signature event. Her runs on Friday and Saturday went fine, but she lost control a few seconds into her run, and things got very serious afterward.

Vonn said last week she had no regrets about her decision to race.

“While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets. Standing in the starting gate yesterday was an incredible feeling that I will never forget,” she wrote in a separate Instagram post. “Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself. I also knew that racing was a risk. It always was and always will be an incredibly dangerous sport.

“And similar to ski racing, we take risks in life. We dream. We love. We jump. And sometimes we fall. Sometimes our hearts are broken. Sometimes we don’t achieve the dreams we know we could have. But that is also the beauty of life; we can try.

Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq has defended senior duo Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi despite their recent poor form, ahead of Pakistan’s must-win clash against Namibia on Wednesday at the Sinhalese Sports Club.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Tariq praised the contributions of Pakistan’s senior players and outlined the team’s mindset, stressing the importance of experience while noting cricket’s unpredictability.

“Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi have won many matches for us. Winning and losing are part of the game. Going forward, you will see us play well,” Tariq said.

He further addressed the team’s approach to setbacks and the learning process after a defeat, highlighting the importance of reflection and moving forward.

“After the match, the discussion is always about what mistakes we made. If one match doesn’t go well, that’s part of the game,” he stated.

The right-arm spinner reflected on the team’s recent struggles and the importance of learning from past errors. He emphasised the proactive steps they have taken to address shortcomings.

“Problems arise when you don’t work on your mistakes. We have worked on our mistakes. If we don’t repeat them, there won’t be any problem,” he said.

He also spoke about handling high-pressure situations on the field, explaining that staying composed is crucial for performance.

“Feeling pressure is normal. Controlling pressure is part of the job, and we have worked on that. But right now, there is no pressure. I didn’t feel that the team was under pressure,” he concluded.

In their previous outing, the 2009 champions opted for a spin-heavy attack after winning the toss and electing to field.

However, the strategy backfired as India’s batting, led by a blistering half-century from Ishan Kishan, propelled them to 175/5 in 20 overs.

Pakistan’s spin duo, Abrar Ahmed and experienced all-rounder Shadab Khan, struggled. Abrar conceded 38 runs in three overs, while Shadab leaked 17 runs in a single over, with neither claiming a wicket.

Among the pacers, Shaheen Afridi was the only one to make a notable impact, returning figures of 1/31 in two overs. Captain Salman Ali Agha later described it as an “off-day.”

The Green Shirts’ batting also faltered under pressure, being bowled out for 114 in 18 overs after a disastrous start to the chase.

Earlier in the tournament, Salman Mirza impressed in Pakistan’s opening match against the Netherlands, picking up 3/24 in four overs. In 14 T20Is for Pakistan, he has taken 22 wickets at an economy rate of 6.36.

Currently, Pakistan sits third in the Group A points table with two wins and one defeat from three matches, with a net run rate of -0.403.

A win against Namibia would secure six points, putting them in the second spot and overtaking the USA, who have two wins and two losses with four points and a net run rate of 0.788, ensuring progression to the Super Eight stage.

Haji Wright hit a hat trick as Coventry returned to the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a 3-1 home victory over in-form promotion rivals Middlesbrough.

Coventry had relinquished a 10-point lead at the top of the table to their opponents, but a dominant performance at the Coventry Building Society Arena saw Frank Lampard’s side go back to the summit and move one step closer to the Premier League.

Following three games without a win, the Sky Blues reignited their title bid and ended Middlesbrough’s six-match winning run.

Wright made it to 13 goals for the season with his hat trick and his coach Frank Lampard was full of praise for the USMNT forward.

“Haji keeps his head down, he’s been working hard and we know what Haji can be like when he’s in that form. Really pleased for him and he has to take that forward.

“Especially with a high-level game, you have to score in critical moments and we did today. Everybody worked and Haji did the business.”

Wright struck a post with the first action of the game but was not to be denied a second time when he tapped in just his third goal since October to settle any home nerves.

Middlesbrough put in a rare lacklustre attacking display as they failed to register a shot on target in the first period.

Wright doubled the hosts’ advantage 10 minutes after the break before Riley McGree got Boro back in the contest, but the United States international completed his treble with his 13th goal of the season from the penalty spot after Matt Targett handled inside the area.

Coventry’s fast start almost brought instant rewards as Tatsuhiro Sakamoto curled a cross on to the head of Wright, who guided the ball against a post.

Boro players threw themselves in front of further efforts from Frank Onyeka and Jack Rudoni, but the visitors began to settle down, Morgan Whittaker firing over with their first sight of goal after a chaotic opening.

But the hosts hit the front in the 21st minute.

Rudoni tiptoed his way into the area and flashed a teasing ball across the face of goal and Wright was on hand to poke it past Sol Brynn.

The Sky Blues went in search of a second when Ephron Mason-Clark darted into the area, but he guided his effort the wrong side of a post.

It took 40 minutes but the Teesiders finally woke up and started to test Coventry for the first time.

Targett whipped a searching ball beyond the back line, but Whittaker could only head it against Jay Dasilva and behind.

Chances were beginning to come at each end, Mason-Clark timing his run perfectly to break the offside trap but shooting straight at Brynn minutes before the break.

Twenty seconds after Hayden Hackney had forced Carl Rushworth into his first save, the keeper sent a high kick over the top for Wright, who latched on to the long ball and finished past Brynn.

Coventry were seemingly comfortable, but Boro served a reminder they still carried a threat as Aidan Morris fired against a post from distance.

And Middlesbrough did get themselves back in the match, Callum Brittain breaching the back line and sending in a cross which McGree diverted home to set up a nervy last quarter for Coventry.

But those nerves were soon settled as Josh Eccles’ cross hit Targett’s hand and Wright stepped up to seal his hat trick and the points from the spot.

“There’s so many points to fight for. We’ve got ourselves in this position, it’s game on,” Lampard added.

“There is so much to play for and we absolutely can’t get carried away. We have to focus on ourselves. No one can rest. It’s about action, but we have to recognise the effort we put into this game to stick to a plan and deliver that. West Brom will be a different challenge.”
